$A$ simple pendulum of length $1 \,m$ has a wooden bob of mass $M = 1 \,kg$. It is struck by a bullet of mass $m = 10^{-2} \,kg$ moving with a speed of $u = 2 \times 10^2 \,m/s$. The bullet gets embedded into the bob. The height to which the bob rises before swinging back is (use $g = 10 \,m/s^2$): (in $\,m$)

Statement $(I)$: The slope of the kinetic energy-displacement curve of a body in motion is directly proportional to its acceleration.
Statement $(II)$: From a height of $15 \ m$, a ball is projected vertically upwards with a velocity of $30 \ m/s$. If the ball rises to the same height after hitting the ground, the loss of its energy on hitting the ground is $30 \%$.
Statement $(III)$: The velocity acquired by a body of mass '$m$' after travelling a fixed distance from rest under the action of a constant force is directly proportional to mass '$m$'.
